Product details
Overview
XC3S1600E-4FGG400C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-3E family FPGA with 1,584 logic cells, 512 Kbits of block RAM, and 128 user I/Os in a 400-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package. It operates at -4 speed grade and supports 3.3V/2.5V/1.2V mixed-voltage I/O banks for industrial control and embedded vision interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC3S1600E-4FGG400C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include logic cell count, I/O voltage flexibility, block RAM depth, and supported configuration modes (Master Serial, Slave SelectMAP).
Technical Context
The XC3S1600E-4FGG400C implements a configurable logic fabric based on 4-input LUTs and distributed RAM, with dedicated carry logic for arithmetic functions. It integrates twelve 18×18 multipliers and supports DDR SDRAM interfaces up to 333 Mbps.
Configuration is performed via external SPI PROM or JTAG boundary-scan; internal startup sequence includes power-on reset and mode pin sampling. The device supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG for programming and debugging.
